We call this SOURSOP back in Asia. Fiona was talking bout this fruit during lunch that day, and she kept saying "custard apple" I gave her the puzzled look, and was picturing an apple coated with butter custard, sounds yum but no, thats was not what she was refering to. So she brought the legendary fruit to uni for me to see today. Here goes the above so known soursup or soursop * i can't spell it* is known as CUSTARD APPLE. cool isn't it? Don't even question me how they got that name, it doesn't at all resemble an apple, and to make things worst, they ain't red or apple green. Anyway, its call custard apple! heheh, and fiona gave it to me! heheh

Tropically well known as RAMBUTAN. I heard it on the TV, Jamie Oliver's cooking show as "HAIRY LYCEES" I asked my ABC friends over here, indeed they do call it hairy lycees as well. I reckon RAMBUTAN is too mouthful? hehe. Jamie Oliver is a British, *IF I"M NOT WRONG* hehe, so I think its also call hairy lycees over at great britain.

Human's closest relative. I love this one.. We pronouce it as ORANG UTAN. the malay accent way. Fio went " O-reng - Wu ten" WE thought, hmm new fruit (custard apple) and now a new animal? haha She went out to describe it as the BIG MONKEY.. and we were laughing so badly after that. O-reng wu ten... omg.. sounds like its some precious elegant animal like the peacock. AND TALKING BOUT ANIMALS..

monkey = mon -k and donkey as = don-k . They don't pronouce the KEY behind.. they "EY" is silent. Actually its only one of my aussie friend who pronouced it this way.. haha but it sounds so interesting.

LAstly, what bout this fellow up here.

Hueyling= Hu-ey ling. the HUEY is pronounced without the E silence.

aileen= either Ai-leen or A-leen

hmm.. interesting indeed. I wonder are durians call horny custard apple. heheheh Cos they have the colour of a custard apple, and has horns.. so durians should be called =horny custard apple..

I know its not funny.....
